“THE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HELP YOU PLAN, BUILD, EQUIP, AND OPEN.”
Lux Restaurant Builders and Design presents the Restaurant Opening Checklist. A practical checklist to help you make sure your restaurant is ready for opening day. Then clean checkboxes: permits and inspections, restaurant equipment, staff training, opening inventory, soft launch: test kitchen flow, limited menu, friends and family, feedback, marketing: social media posts, clear announcement, flyers, grand opening promo. And at the bottom, a small Lux section like, “Need help bringing your restaurant from concept to opening day?”
